Power Systems: Innovation to put data to work

New innovation brings faster insight to the point of impact for today’s data hungry applications

Built with innovation that puts data to work, IBM Power Systems deliver the foundation for organizations to bring insight to the point of impact 2x faster. These first generation systems push the physical and virtual boundaries of Data Center (DC) technology with innovation designed to drive the faster, more efficient data-centric applications required in today’s smarter enterprise.

With new innovations, Power Systems provide the ability to:

Gain faster insights with the POWER8 processor and smart acceleration enabled by CAPI technologies such as accelerators for key workloads

Achieve lower latency and smaller footprint with CAPI Flash

Move data in and out of systems more quickly with twice the memory and I/O expansion

Achieve greater speed and efficiency for database, transactional and other highly multi-threaded applications with transactional memory supported by 50 percent more cores and 2x the number of simultaneous threads per core than commodity systems

Feature

Benefits
